A collection of Songfics (Star Wars version)
Chapter 3:
This is the song Fields of Verdun. It is of course by Sabaton but did you expect any less from me? Also, I would like to thank Multiple-Fandom-Writer for suggesting this song. Now on to the song.
As the drum roll started on that day
Heard a hundred miles away
A million shells were fired
And the green fields turned to gray
The bombardments lasted all day long
Yet the forts were standing strong
Heavily defended
Now the traps been sprung and the battles begun
The separatist droids came on the people of Christophsis. It happened so suddenly that few had time to take up arms and send a plea for help.
Descend into darkness
303 days below the sun
The fight for Christophsis had begun.
Fields of Verdun and the battle has begun
Nowhere to run father and son
Fall one by one under the gun
Thy will be done (thy will be done)
And the judgement has begun
Nowhere to run father and son
Fall one by one, fields of Verdun
The fighters held out until Republic forces could arrive.
Though a million shells have scarred the land
No one has the upper hand
From ground above to trenches
Where the soldiers made their stand
As the trenches slowly turn to mud
And then quickly start to flood
Death awaits at every corner
As they die in the mud, fill the trenches with blood
The troops had arrived. Now the battle became a stalemate of sorts. It was quite impossible for both sides to come closer to victory. The Republic soldiers took heavy losses.
Descend into darkness
303 days below the sun
And so the battle went on. Many soldiers, droid and clone alike as well as civilians, were lost to the bloody fighting.
Fields of Verdun and the battle has begun
Nowhere to run father and son
Fall one by one under the gun
Thy will be done (thy will be done)
And the judgement has begun
Nowhere to run father and son
Fall one by one, fields of Verdun
The battle continued to rage on as the sides fought. Thousands of soldiers fell on the battlefield.
Fields of execution turned to wasteland from the grass
Thou shalt go no further it was said "they shall not pass!"
The spirit of resistance and the madness of the war
So go ahead, face the lead, join the dead
Though you die where you lie, never asking why
The soldiers fought on. Battle crys sounded throughout the ranks. The civilian defenders stood their ground despite the odds against them.
Descend into darkness
303 days below the sun
It seemed like the battle wouldn't end to some of the fighters.
Fields of Verdun and the battle has begun
Nowhere to run father and son
Fall one by one under the gun
Thy will be done (thy will be done)
And the judgement has begun
Nowhere to run father and son
Fall one by one, fields of Verdun
Finally the Republic forces drove the separatist troops back. The fight for Christophsis had finally come to an end.
Well, this wasn't that great. It kinda was okay but not really. I was stuck a bit but sort of came up with this. What is wrong with me? Anywho, if you want another songfic (it just took me 6 tries to spell that) send me a song name over PM or review. This is going to now be a collection of songfics made so every new songfic gets put here. Like all writers, I live off reviews. Constructive criticism allowed. Oh and here's a joke.
2 Germans stand in a trench. One looks to the other and says..
"Verdun here!"
